Doha's Qatar Executive has taken delivery of a second factory-new Gulfstream G650ER in time for a busy spring and summer season. The aircraft can fly non-stop from the Middle East to North America or from destinations in Asia to Africa, with sufficient range to take customers half way round the world.

Says group chief executive Akbar Al Baker: “We are delighted to welcome a second Gulfstream G650ER to our expanding private jet fleet, and to be able to provide our clients with more flexibility, and an enhanced product portfolio.

“The aircraft allows our customers to reach the main business centres around the world in the shortest possible time, to travel in superior comfort, and to take more luggage than on other jets in this category,” concludesAl Baker.

The company received its first G650ER in December 2015, following an order for up to 30 new business jets including Gulfstream's all-new G500 and G600, for which Qatar Executive is the global launch customer. The second G650ER features an identical cabin to that of the first; the two-cabin configuration seats up to 13 passengers and each seat converts into a fully flat bed. A three-seat divan is situated in the aft cabin.
